Thanks for the reply. I did find the linux drivers for the raid card, but not sure how to load them. I planned on running a raid5 on this setup. As far as the synology OS, yes, that was on an original unit. So going through the standard setup of the storage pool and volume, but didn't see the drives listed. Is there an easy way to integrate the drivers into the install? Please forgive me, i'm totally new to xpenology. I've been reading through the guides and all, but haven't found anything that shows how to load the drivers.
